In Beijing, hundreds of volunteers walked through the city collecting trash as a 'symbol of how much waste is in the public sphere,' said Christian Teriete of the Global Campaign for Climate Action. More than 30,000 students from some 200 Chinese universities launched a nationwide programme calling for climate action through practical measures, such as removing rubbish from local areas. 'This was the biggest show of youth environmental action in China's history,' media spokeswoman Joanna Wong said. 'It is about China's youth showing the world they want to take responsibility for our country's green future'
